Tip
The pot will take about 10 minutes to heat because of the amount of liquid.
Step 2: Add in Cream and Serve
When soup is finished cooking, quick pressure release the valve. Remove the lid and stir to cool. Add in cream for a creamier soup, if desired. Serve while warm. Enjoy!
If you want to freeze the leftovers, pour them into a double freezer gallon bags, remove all air, and seal. Stores for up to 1 month. To reheat, place contents in a covered stock pot on medium heat until warm.
Tip
You'll know your wild rice is done when it starts to "blossom." The grain will look like it's slightly curled and sprouting, but will still maintain a slightly nutty texture.
